ASU was sky high for last year’s HG in the desert but Georgia was never challenged winning 27-10 (-7). This time Georgia gets the large edge of ASU making their first trip to the deep South this decade. ASU is off of 2 creampuffs and has QB Sullivan (193 ypg, 57%, 1-0 ratio) making his 1st career road start. Georgia actually almost gained as many yards last week (530) as they did in the first 2 wks (565) combined. Stats lie here due to the strength of schedule (UGA #6, ASU #119) Georgia has been outgained by a 406-365 clip while ASU has dominated the yardage category with a 373-150 average edge. Georgia faces their easiest opponent of the season and this is the Sun Devils first test and the Bulldogs will show they are the much stronger team.

Also, Steele (or his computer) was impressed with Georgia’s showing against Arkansas, ranking it the 9th best performance in the country last weekend. Go figure.

UGA will roll ASU this weekend. Defense tired of the criticsm from fans, more competition battles will make DBs play harder, competition at RB will have both RS and CK focused, and ASU offense and OL is pretty weak. I look for Gray to get some time as the Dawgs put this away early. UGA by 17+ on Saturday. No trap game, this team has been under siege and defending itself after every game.

Quote Of The Day

“Give them credit, but I think everybody can see that Georgia’s going to be a force to be reckoned with. I’m very proud of this team and this university, and we’re not going anywhere.’ — Kirby Smart, AJ-C, 1/9/18
